Abstract

Abstract : Folliculo‐sebaceous hamartomas comprise a series of entities whose boundaries are imprecise. We present the clinical case of a folliculo‐sebaceous cystic hamartoma of genital localization where the diagnosis was established based on the epithelial proliferation, but mostly, on the characteristic stroma. Because this lesion lacked of the cystic component, we mention the most frequent differential diagnoses and review the literature of the few cases published on this infrequent localization.
